Up for sale is my 2003 CVPI Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Prior Wisconsin State Police Highway Patrol Unit I purchased it 4 years ago and replaced many significant parts and used it as a daily driver until this Winter. The rear differential will need to be rebuilt or replaced. The vehicle does currently drive and it is the only known issue from being a reliable daily driver again, however the repair is mandatory. I've had the car parked since the middle of Winter with the intention of repairing the rear differential but I haven't had the time. Now I have 4 vehicles and only a 2 bay garage, so the wife says one of them has to go. I will miss it very much, as it has been very reliable, inexpensive and comfortable and fun to drive. The car demands respect on the road. Other drivers are always very courteous, nobody tailgates or cuts you off, it really makes for a stress-free driving experience whether it be a long trip on the highway or just to the grocery store. These are some of the repairs made, the majority of the repairs were within the last few years and only with factory Motorcraft or quality aftermarket parts like Moog
Currently installed in the back seat is a Havis K-9 cage (MSRP $1500 new) The car also comes with the factory seat and door panels. My dog loves his area in the back of the car, and it proved to be very convenient. The cage also provides a flat floor making it very roomy for transporting larger objects. The factory back seat, door panels and everything needed to go back to a factory is included. Currently mounted on the rims are General Altimax Arctic winter tires, they have been used for 2.5 winters and a phenomenal to say the least. With the factory limited slip rear end the car was unstoppable in any snow we see in CT. Summer tires also go with the car. I have a set of OEM police interceptor Eagle RSA's. 2 of them are brand new with less than 1000 miles, 1 is only about a year old and 1 is older and needs to be replaced soon. The rear differential gears are 3.27:1, giving you excellent gas mileage for a V8 especially on the highway. On road trips I usually get 23mpg at 75mph, and around town about 18mpg. The car is also equipped with a remote starter and alarm system. VERY convenient on really cold or really hot days. The only issues other than the rear end are minor and don't affect driveability:
Exterior blemishes are noticeable up close only and there are dings, scratches and dents. However when the car was driven daily I kept the exterior looking as best it could with polishing, buffing and waxing multiple times a year (as you can see from the pictures taken last summer it was very well taken care of). Currently the car hasn't been washed since the Winter and hasn't been polished up since before Winter. The first 15 pictures were taken last summer when it was still a daily driver, the remaining pictures of the car in the asphalt driveway are current pictures of the car and where it's been for the last few months. The car has a clear title in hand. * The center console in the pictures and the aftermarket radio are not installed in the car nor included in the sale, the factory AM/FM head unit has been re-installed. Also the items in the trunk are not included.....neither is my dog!* |

Buy Ford and GM stock and make 5%
Tue, Feb 2 2016Want to make a five-percent return when 10-year treasuries are paying around two percent? Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) have solid balance sheets, strong cash flow, solid earnings, and growing markets. By all accounts, they are smart investments. But the market is down on these stocks. Why? Some of the stupid excuses include: They are cyclical companies The Detroit 3 have lost 3.5 million in sales since 2000 The world economy is shaky GM recently filed for bankruptcy Their markets have peaked They haven't changed their ways Let's take these criticisms one by one: They Are Cyclical Companies Yes, they are cyclical. Every company is cyclical. Every industry is cyclical. Some more than others, but not every company is immune from swings in the market. Banks used to be 'non-cyclical' leader, not anymore. Airline stocks are just as cyclical as auto stocks, yet they are trading at multiples greater than the auto industry. Why? And what accounts for the irrational stock price for Tesla (TSLA)? At least Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) make money and have positive cash flows. In fact, both companies have a net positive cash position. They have more cash on hand than liabilities. Auto sales in the United States hit a record 17.5 million vehicles in 2015. During the Great Recession, Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) cut their break even points to 10 million vehicles per year. Anything above an annual U.S. volume of 10 million vehicles is profit. And what a profit they make. Sales of Ford's F-150 continues to be the best-selling vehicle in the United States for over 30 years. Detroit 3 Have Lost 3.5 million in Sales Since 2000 Automotive News reports General Motors (GM), Ford (F) and Chrysler (FCA) have lost a combined 3.5 million vehicles sales since 2000. So how can they be making more money? Two big reasons – Fleet Sales and the UAW. Fleet Sales The Detroit 3 used to own car rental companies to keep their factories running. Ford owned Hertz (HTZ), General Motors owned all of National Car Rental and 29 percent of Avis, and Chrysler, the forerunner to Fiat Chrysler (FCA), used to own Thrifty Car Rental and Dollar Rent-A-Car. The Detroit 3 owned these rental companies to have a place to sell their bad product and keep their factories running. These were low margin sales, and in many cases, were money losers for the Detroit 3. They no longer own auto rental companies.

2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely
Fri, 29 Aug 2014When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.
